One of South African Airways (SAA) pilots caused drama at the Harare International airport when he stripped to his underpants in protest against security procedures. Captain Wouter van Ginkel was barred from flying, with aviation authorities raising concern over his state of mind following the incident. Van Ginkel, who has been with SAA for 19 years, was going though the screening routine with cabin crew when the detectors beeped as he passed the X-ray screening gates. Detectors at the screening gates beeped as the Van Ginkel went through, prompting the authorities to ask him to remove his shoes. But again the detectors beeped, resulting in him being asked to remove his belt, a directive that triggered a furious protest that saw him undressing to his undergarment. Security officials subsequently moved in and arrested him.
